Excited to be part of this incredible team writing the first history of grandparenting in Australia! grandparentsaustralia.net
Grandparenting tells us much about our history. It’s important to preserve these stories
Grandparents can play a fundamental role in families, yet they have often been overlooked in Australian history.

The dictionary is a living, breathing and evolving record of how language is wrapped up in who we are as Australians. It is vital we protect it.
